24t?

These are what thrasher showed me, have no idea why I presumed they were American but TWENTY FOUR would do it

VeloSolo are legit btw. Not that it's much use if they have no stock of anything

Web 2.0 for forums 😎

Web 2.0 for e-commerce 😳

I think I will get this JRA stuff, then go see rat race if they have a chain, lockring and bb spacers

thank you

Alternatively, fit one of these Pinion rear spiders and use any 104BCD chainring you like back there

The absolute fuck does this exist?? Can run like 30-30????

Gearbox bikes ( sorry ) tend to run a 1 x 1 ratio, so 30 x 30 is quite common there

If I cannae make this ssmtb actually rideable for me will have to get one retrofitted

Do it for the very best reason of all

To troll @amey

Or these dudes, found out about them on here and am currently in conversation about a chainring. Very helpful.

TWENTY FIVE

With the 'standard' 2 x 1 gearing often found on 26" ssmtbs that should look interesting

I think 24 should be fine tbqh

24-30 @ 29x2.1 should get me up most stuff? enough to buzz along on the flatter dirt, unridable on the road

22-47 @ 700x35 was fine for fire roads if a little large for the steepest stuff

One can always walk ofc… but would also like to get round the trail

I've done a few rides on mine and it seems pretty solid overall. Although for almost 40 quid it's rather pricey, mine came off Ali for ~30 including a chain tensioner.

Might have a 21 or 22t cog in the box. Think I sent a 23 to hippy.

24 - 30 does not sound buzzy. Might get you up stuff but everything else will be furious spinning to just creep along.

Mmmm you are right

Maybe a 22t or 21 would be better

maybe both and one can simply dingle

If I got 10 cogs and something to tension the chain slack…..

I think it’s best to not over think it as once it’s on I will inevitably “just get used to it” so I think I will heed your advice and go 22

But I have a 22wi free wheel so should definitely just get a Paul word hub built ….

Right?

….

Rig….

30x18 is great

King-schming. Boone's where it's at...

Yes, obviously. But if you need a 21t surly until Mr Paul whips you up a hub, I've found one here you're welcome to.

Damn! Thank you!

I will dm this evening about it!

Ooo, oval & oval.

I may need some more time to work out the clocking of those in my head

@Maj I can vouch for the VeloSolo cogs too.
Riding road and offroad you should get a dingle speed setup!
Double in the front and two cogs in the rear. You can use a chain calculator to find two ratios with approx. the same chain length.
